. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, THE COURTS. The Precedent Adopted in an Important Revenue Litigation. eee BERRIAN WILL CASE. AGang of Counterfeiters Put Out of Harm’s Way. The United States Circuit Court, jury branch, was opened yesterday by Judge Shipman with the caso of Charles E. Schmieder against Hiram Barney 48 Collector of the Port of New York, for the trial of which a struck jury had been summoned. The ques- tion involved in this suit, which was begun in 1866, is whether or not certain Saxony dress goods made of worsted and cotton are goods of a description simi- lar to dolaines, and are dutiable as such under section 9 of the act of June 14, 1862. At the opening of court Assistant United States District Attorney Her. rick said that he had recently ascertained that the pre- cise question of law involved in this case was tried in Boston iu June, 1875, in the suit of Greenlesf and others against Collector Goodrich, aud which re- sulted in favor of the government. A motion for a new trial was mado, and Mr. Herrick read the opinion of Judges Shipley and Fox, sitting iu baneo. In con- clusion Mr. Herrick stated that the case was yow ding before the United States Supreme Conmt, and ‘appeal would probably be heard during tle pres- ent year. Mr. Herrick moved a continuance of the ease, atter erguinent was heard in opposition Judge Shipman decided that, as the question had wready been tried and was now un < final review, it would not be proper at this time to allow a pro- tracted trial to be begun, invoiying much labor and expense. In the case of Greenleaf against Goodrich the stand of the government has becn sustained in every ular, In this und similar suits about $6,000,000 is involved. In the case called yesterday in the United States Circuit Court the government was fully prepared for trial, and many witnesses were present from Boston, Providence and other cities. THE BERRIAN WILL CONTEST. The contest in the Berrian will case was resumed. yesterday morning before Surrogate Culvin, and a great deal of testimony was offered by the contest- ants for the purpose of proving the intemperance and incapacity of the testator, Ex-Police Justice Soctt testified that during two years’ acquaintance the deceased was intoxicated nearly every time he met him, and that once, when upon a fishing excursion, he was so.drunk that he upset the boat. Daniel Berrian, son of the testator, testified that he was in business with his father and saw him every day when iu the city, and noticed a decided change in his father’s manners; that he went to the St. James Hotel when Mrs. De Zea died; that his father was then under the influence of liquor, much excited and acted like a child; that he saw him the day he returned from Colorado; that his father had some bags, two birds, some ore and other things, and on the way over to Stecle’s took out two flags anda tin horn and waved the flags and blew the horn on the stage; during the last year his appearance changed very much; formerly he was neat and tidy, and now became slov » and coarse and blas- hemous in his language; during his last illness ey were refused adinittance at his house in Fifty- fourth street; they were told that their father was not in, but went in, and he was there, and the Stecles were with him; his impression was that his con- duct was irrational from the time of the death of Mrs. De Zea. W. H. Middleton and Engene Blackford, fish dealers at the Fulton Market, fare testimony as to his irrational conduct. Theo- lore Berrian corroborated much of the testimony of his brother. He identified a pay names of Mrs. Steele and her daughters, furnished by Birs. Josephine H. Steele to Mr. Berrian, and in the handwriting of John Stecle. He also testified as to a conversation he overheard between his brothers and sisters and his father in the Pear! strect store. They told him they had been to his house the evening pre- vious and were refused admittance. He then went into a terrible passion, and with an oath said if he had been there he would have kicked them off the stoop, aud said he did not own any of them. COUNTERFEITERS SENTENCED. At tho opening of the United States Circuit Court yesterday, before Judge Bonedict, three menconvicted Of passing counterfeit money were called up for sen- tence. The ‘first was Albert Burkhardt, who was ar- Tested at Mat Grace's on Honston streot by Detective Hall, of the Secret Service Bureau. The details of tho trial havo been fully reported in the Hxnazp, Burkhardt had been for a long time und®r the sur- veillance of the detectives, and it was only by the nsuai ruse on their’ part of representing thmnselves ax “shovers of the quecr” that they succeeded in bringing Burkhardt within the meshes of the law. “He was sentenced to the Albany Ponitentiary for ten years and to pay a fine of $1. Michael Connors an ex-police officer, con- victed of passing counterfeit money, and who, it was proved, was an accomplice of Burkhardt, was sen- tenced to seven years’ imprisonment at hard labor in the same institution and to pay a fine of $1. Henry Peckhain, another of the counterfeit gang, who leaded guilty, was sentenced to five years at hard la- r in the same institution and to pay a like fine, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. The writ of habens corpus in the case of James Dennedy, charged with the murder of his wife, was yesterday dismissed by Judge Barrett snd the pris- oner remanded to the Tombs to await trial.

Judge Barrett yesterday ap- Pointed as guardian ad litem Abraham Luster. Judge Barrett yesterday discharged on her own re- cognizance Ellen Carberry, the. woman sentenced to three months’ imprisonment on a charge of shop- Ufting, the ouly evidence against her being that she was in company with awoman who committed the larceny and who alleged that Mrs. Carberry was not her accomplice. it waa stated that she could not fur- nish the $30 bail previously required, ‘The case of Dr. Clarence M. baker, indicted for mis- demeanor in having given a faise ecrtificate of death after the deimise of Sarah Victoria Courors, who, it is claimed, died from malpractice at the hands of Dr. Braiford, is on the calendar for to-~ in the Court of General Sessions. The case of ‘Billy’ McGlory, proprietor of “The Windsor Palace,” No. 103 Bowery, tor feloniously assaulting Philip Marks, will be on the same calendar for pleading. Aun indictment for keeping a disorderly house was found recently against McGlory, and yesterday he was indicted for assaulting Marks, . In a suit brought by Julius A. Skilton, former Ocnsul General in Mexico, against Adelina McIntyre Smith, on a bill of exchange tor $1,183 70, drawn by Adelia de Moncada, application was mide yesterday to Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court, Chambers, to compel the plaintiff to tile security tor costs on the ground that he is a non-resident, he now living, as alleged, in Mexico. In opposition to the application it was stated that Mr, iton'’s family is residing in this city and that he is only temporarily absent in Mexico, where he has gone to wind up certein busi- hess matters, Judge barrett took the papers. John McGee, of No, 216 Mott street, ou the Lith of November last attacked a poor consumptive, and ‘Thomas Gibney went to the rescue, wherpupon Me- Gee's fathor threatened to strike Gibney with a brick. The younger McGee then drew a razor and slashed Gibney in the throat, inflicting an ugly wound. When arraigned in Part 1 of the Court of General Sessions esterday McGee pleaded Lemp A and in passing sen- hen Judge Gildersloove said the ~~ mitigating eir- cumstance in the case was that Gibney struck the first blow, otherwise a very severe punishment would be inflicted.

In a closet off the room little heaps of rags, siretched along the floor, are called a bed, and on them nightly rest the mother and chil- dren. The mother strives hard to earn a little to support her family, but it is almost a useless labor. She starts out every morning at six o'clock to do cleaning in an office, for which she gets barely enough to buy dry bread. She then goes to some of the restaurants, where she picks up few scraps of meat, Yesterday when she entered her room these odds and ends were produced, tied up in @ parcel, and there was not enough in the whole tor « single meal, Yet this was all she had to live on for the day. She said she was‘fortunate in having got so much, as there were some days when she was obliged to meet the children with nothing ‘but acrust of dry bread. Her husvand is insane and in the asylum on Hart's Island. On the first tloor of No. 14 Roosevelt street a fam- ily of six are in a wretched condition.

RESULT OF THE DOWN TOWN CANVASS NOT QUITE SATISFACTORY—ENERGETIC AIDS NEEDED. The good work of canvassing for city charities throughout the city was started yesterday morning from the headquarters of the committee, 132 South Fitth avenue. Owing to some hitch in the arrangements the excellent purposes of the com mittee were only partially accomplished, and the re- sult was not as gratifying as it should aave been It had been given out that, besides the head! quarters of the committee in South Fifth avenue, for the lower part of the city, another centre would be established up town, and great many inquiries were made at the building of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Com- pany, in Thirteenth street, where the committes wit held some mectings, only to be met with the stereotyped reply that’ nothing was known as to the committee's whereabouts. » A large wagon, drawn by four horses, was kept weiting for three hours to start on a canvassing tour, and the driver finally had to return to his employer. Another serious draw- ck was the lack of efficient. canvasxers, ch canvasser was provided with a printed and sealed certificate, in order that impostors should tind it impossible to’ ply their y trade under the cover of pier arity. In spite of numerous drawbacks the success of the canvass was very fair and the pile of articles and supplies donated had assumed quite respectable proportions last evening. Yesterday the coming of the canvassers was only known to few people and the resuits, therefore, were not as large ax had be cipated; but to-day it is hoped cverybody wo give even the smallest trifle will prepare for the can- vassers and contribute his mite toward making the result adequate to the urgent necessities ot the poor of this«ity. SHIPPING THE POOR WEST HOW POVERTY IS BEST RELIEVED AND GOOD ACCOMPLISHED—MAKING CITIZENS OF OUT- CASTS—THY MISSION OF THE CHILDREN'S ALD SOCIETY. ‘Tho Childfen’s Aid Society sont out West yesterday in charge of its agent, Charles KR. Fry, a company of families numbering about a hundred souls, two- thirds of whom were children ranging in age from one to sixteen years. Their destination was chiefly Iows, where homes among the farmers are expected to be found for them. Adult persons are sent by the society only where it happens that thoy are already as- sured by friends or relatives out West that work anda home awaits them and that they have a family of children hopelessly depending upon them for support in this city. The society, as its title implies, secks only to aid the clvtildren, but when it occurs that the parents of such are to be found and can be made use of for the better care of the little ones itis thought desirable to afford them assistance. If the parents have money enough to pay their own way out West they are permitted to do so, while the society assists the children; but if not, they share in the aid extended to their offspring. Twice a month an average batch of fifty homeless children are taken West beyond Chicago by the agent. They range in years from five to sixtecn, jong to the poorest classes in this city. The society fads them in its schools and lodging houses andin reply vertisements in the newspapers. No child is taken on its own application, but must be identified or recommended by some one in whom the society may have reason to have confidence, ‘These hoye- less children are in many cases the offspring of parents who may be either in the Workhouse or the Penitentiary, but they are frequently the help- less legacy left to the charity of the world by the sudden and perhaps violent deaths of their natural guardians, “Che name of each child is registered in the office of the society before it is transterred West, and that its idevtity and whereabouts in its new hone shall not be lost sight of the agent is required to visit it at specified times and report progress. WHERE THEY ALE SENT TO. The children are sent to Kansas, lowa, Missouri, Ulinois, Nebraska, Wiscousin, ‘Minnesota, In: diana und Texas. Very few of late years have been settied east of Chicago. ‘They are almost entirely placed in the ‘families of farmers, and the work they have to do depends a yood deal upon their age and strength. Some who a ng, and interesting aro frequently adopted by childless husvandmen as their own, and they are sent to school and treated as one of the faimily. Others, who ure strong and have a taste that way, are put to ploughing or to one of the many odd hat require to be done daily on o eem. local committee in each town which the agent vierts acting in co-operation with the society, and it is only such farmers or employers as this committee recommends that the chil are per- mitted to settle with, SUCCESS OF THK EXPERIMENT. ‘The society has sent since its labors in this line beyau over ten thousand boys to the West, and the experiment has been admitted on all hands to be a coinplete success, Girls, have been despatched there, and they have th@iven quite as well as the boys. The Astor fumily have great faith in this project tor relieving the distress among the homeless in this city, for diminishing the ranks of crime and making good citizens out of the wretched outcasts of the street, and subscribed toward it last year $3,000, GUARDING AGAINST IMPOSITION. ‘The agent, Mr. Fry, in answer to the question as to how they make sure, in the matter of adults going West, whether they really have any prospect of work Well, we look into the corre: xpondence they get from the West and ingtire about them hore in the city, aud, adding one thing and an- other togethor, we are pretty well able to tell whether they are honest or not. Uf course we would not dream of and his children out West and taking » naa putting them off at a station unless we were quite convinced he had a sure prospect of employment or assistance.” THE DEAD ACTOR The funeral of William E. Osborne, the veteran actor and manager, who died on Monday at the resi- dence of his son, No, 5 Cfutre Market place, of pneu- mouia, will take place at one o'clock to-morrow afternoon, The remaitis will be taken to the family plot in Greenwood Cemotery, Yesterday @ gentleman, well dressed and bearing a benevolent look, called at the honse and stated that he desired to render all the assistance in his power to the be- reaved and distressed family. He positively refused to tell his name, but said that he was employed by the firm of A. T. Stewart & mud was not in any way connected with the dramatic profession. He kindly offered to pay part of the expenses of the funeral, and through his aid, which was gratefully. accepted by the sons, the old actor will have a decent interment. to yesterday afternoon no other offers of assistance been received by the family, and but few persons have called at the house, BOARD OF HEALTH. . ‘THE DANGER OF CONTAGION IN STREET CARs— PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TAKEN—VENTILA- TION IN LODGING HOUSES. At the meeting of the Health Board yesterday Sani- tary Superintendent Day called attention to a flagrant violation of the Sanitary Code, which at this time is very reprehensible on account of the prev- alence of contagious diseases. It was brought before the public lately in the HeraLp “Complaint Book,” and a correspondent of the Board enclosed to them the communication which there appeared above the signature of “Rider,” with some corroborative statements of his own. This induced Dr. Day to sub- mit a report, which he opened by quoting the follow- ing section (167) of the Sanitary Code:— That no person shi time carry or con: upon any. passenger nor shail any or person in charge ch railroad ear 9 carried in or upon such ‘cept on the front platform, any soiled or dirty articles of clothing or bedding in bas: kets or bundles. Dr. Dey then adds:—“This ordinance is posted in nearly all the cars of the city, und the conductors ore expecially named in it, From their position on the back platform they are enabled easily to prevent the entrance of foul linen into their cars at all. It seems to me that the time calls for a rigid enforce- ment of the law. If it is left to the inspectors to do this it can best be accomplished by the arrest of remias conductors, but as the phraseology of the notices posted indicates a possible misapprehension on the part of the companies nnd a consequent failure to properly instruct their subordinates, I would re- spectfully recommend that they be requested to con- fer with the Board of Health with a view to the pro- tection of the public from contagion.” After the reading of Dr. Day’s report the following action was teken:— Resolved, That the secretary bo requested to forward to each of the horse car companies section 167 of the Suni. tury Code prohibiting the carriage of baskets or bundles o} soiled linen, and direeting the conductors of said railroads to provent the carriazo of the samo; and Resolved, That the Nauitury Superintendent be directed to cuuse tho arrest of any conductor or person in charge of any ear who may neglect the same. LODGING HOUSES. After the consideration of several reports on lodg- ing houses submitted by department officials the fol- lowing was adopted :— Resolved, That all lodging houses in which beds aro let for lodgers containing four or more beds in_ang apartment therein for the nse of lodgers, permit in writing from this dopartinent shall be required, and no person in the city of New York sbail have, lease, lot or keep nny such lodgi houses or the lodgings therein, or assist in the keeping assist in living or condiet the business of any such lodging theroin, ox- house the or lodgings cept pursuant to the terms and conditions of w permit in writing pi iy obtained from this department, an application fi ich slat be made in accordance with tho rhlonnnd reculations of the Board of Health by the parson » propose to une the same.

Acommittee, consisting of Messrs. George W. Lane aud Benjamin G. Arnold, who were appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to conter with the Health Board in regard to the adultcrations sin sugar, were present prior to the meeting and held a consuitation with the Board. Tho latter stated they proposed in- yestigating the’ subject of adulterations in eugar so far as they affected the health of the consumers, but did not propose to consider the commercial aspects of the case. ——_—__+-2«.
